Old World Blues Release Date and Discussion 3.0 : Fallout: New Vegas

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 12:21 pm

The delay wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't on purpose. Which I entirely believe it is.

I'd rather not make The Bear angry.

Most of the discussion concerning this delay has really disappointed me.

To be frank, a lot of the community are acting like spoiled, entitled brats.

It's almost as if the community is saying "how dare they not release it within a month." The community feels they are entitled to each DLC and it's quick bug free release just for being a member of the forum. What's worse, is people acting like a few weeks delay is something out the ordinary in software development. The fact that game design is now so advanced that we can see new content created and integrated into an existing game within a couple of months is amazing. I remember when I was young and I waited for almost 6 months for Sega to complete Sonic 3 with the release of Sonic & Knuckles. And it took the collective efforts of multiple gaming companies to finish the pile of disappointment that was Duke Nukem Forever within 13 years. It's even been almost 6 years since Half-Life 2: Episode 2 came out.

1 month of wait is nothing, stop being spoiled.

Well, to be frank, there are alot of children on this forum. And quite a few young men and women, who though by their cronological age are advlts, are no where near as mature as they will be when they are older. The major point you make here is really not centered on their age, though, but their behavior. Maybe I'm from a different generation, or maybe my years in the Marines have molded me into a different sort of person, but I also think that the behavior displayed over the last few days is reprehensible, regardless the age or maturity of the poster. There's just a whole bunch of folks around here that haven't been brought up right by their parents, and they're damn lucky they're not my kids. If they were, and they acted like that, that problem would be corrected immediately. My 9 year olds show more respect for others than many of the forum users here, and there's some people around here that should be really ashamed by that.

Oh, and If you see this tonight Jason, turn off the computer, spend some time with your family, go get a beer or whatever. The work day is over and there's absolutely no reason why you should be subjected to a bunch of immature whining on your own time. Your, and everyone else's, efforts are appreciated by those of us that recognise them for what they are and will never be by those that don't. Take the night off and we'll see you at work tomorrow.

I wholeheartedly agree with both of you. Expressing disappointment is one thing. Acting like a 5 year old at a candy shop is another. Respect must be shown to the effort they put into this game. Not all companies release 300mb+ patches months after a game. And hell, I remember waiting a long time for v1.10 patch of Diablo 2. No expansion, no DLC, just a patch.

By the way is there an ETA for the upcoming patch? Or is it coming out just before OWB?

This, my thoughts exactly.

Still looking forward to it

And yea..... Duke Nukem............. :nope:

Good to get a fixed date.

Happily playing Vegas, Dead Money and Honest Hearts till then.

Dear Jason:

Please understand that the majority of us respect you and your dev team immensly and are all in agreement that a bug free DLC trumps a rushed one. But please also understand that the rage being directed to you guys is because of 2 simple reasons. 1, we were given a promise of a monthly schedule, which though many have suspected to be unrealistic was still a promise. 2, other than the Qore interview and the new release date announcement, we were given virtually no info on this DLC. Speculation might keep us excited for a while but it can only go so far, beyond which the content of this forum quickly erupts into pointless arguments regarding release dates. These 2 reasons obviously doesn't mix well at all. I scencerely hope that we won't see anything quite so bad when Lonesome Road's release date get so close. In the meantime, we give our faith to you that the DLC will be both be relatively bug free and a blast to play. Thanks.

This frees up the 28th so I can play the Annihilation Map Pack.

At least we KNOW that the patch for NV is coming out. HL2 Ep 3 on the other hand... :verymad:

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 1:49 pm

I agree with Gunny. If 19th of July rolls by without a dlc; I still will not be upset by it. There are far more important things in life to be concerned with.

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 7:24 pm

If Rage gets delayed again between now, and when OWB is suppose to be released. Rest assured OWB will be delayed even longer.

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 9:28 pm

My avatar is more angrier than me.

That being said, I'm glad it's coming out on the last week of summer classes. =D

Why would Rage affect OWB?

Id are making Rage.

Obsidian are handling the New Vegas DLC.

The only connection is Bethesda, and only as publisher. Rage will have no effect on OWBs and Vice versa.

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 10:33 pm

All I have to say is.... those low down worthless excuses for devs. Maybe Fallout 3 was less stable, but at least the DLC's came out on time!

As Dr. Magnusson from Half-Life 2 might say; "What next in this parade of constant delays!?"

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 10:24 am

Actually I think Rage, although not related to Fallout other than Bethesda being the publisher might have more of an affect on Fallout than you believe.

It is my opinion, that the New Vegas DLC has been delayed because of Rage. They want to keep this game relevant long enough for Rage and Skyrim to be released. Which is why they are purposely delaying OWB and LR. That's right I said PURPOSELY. Brink was a flop, so the only game that is really carrying Bethesda at this time is New Vegas. Rage is the next big Bethesda title coming out soon, they want players to have something to play up until Rage is launched. Do you not see the correlation? Do you not find it strange that Rage was set to come out in August, but has been pushed back until October. At the same time the last Fallout DLC was set to come out in July a mere month or less before Rage's original date, but has now been delayed until August, possibly September? They have to keep this game relevant until their next big title is released in October. They are purposely delaying this DLC under the guise that they are fixing massive amounts of bugs, which has probably already been done but they just want to drag it out. So yes if Rage is delayed again, even if by a month I can see the final two, or the final Fallout DLC being delayed yet again, in the interest of keep this game relevant long enough for the next big title's release. Simply put it's marketing.

Yes, and all of them had launch day/week problems.

O:A was extremely difficult to get working correctly due to issues with GFWL.

The Pitt was corrupted and as I recall, the 'hole' still hasn't been fixed.

Broken Steel had issues with starting the questline (Wake up on floor unable to move, or game goes back to menu), had numerous trigger glitches (Presidential train not working) and issues with the Reavers gltiching out and becoming invincible.

Point Lookout had some scripting issues, mostly relating to the mansion and the bog.

Mothership Zeta had issues with crashing, doors not working and leaving you trapped (Still see reports of this) and the issue with General whatisface's coat showing as Winterized armour (Never fixed).

Swings and roundabouts. You can either wait and get them in a more functioning state or get them sooner and have to wait for the major issues to be sorted anyway.

WHAT THE DAMN GODLESS HELL, OWB WAS SUPPOSED TO COME IN JUNE, JUNE JUNE JUNE JUNE JUNE, NOT JULY, I HATE BETHESDA WHEN THEY DO THIS TO US!!!!!

That might be possible, dev's have stated that the release date isnt in their control.

To the people complaining, is Falout New Vegas the only game you play? there are several good games out ya now

Basically i only play NV,F3 and Mass effect 1 and 2 over and over,when i get tired i play some CoD for like 10 minutes before i get sick of it.
I could wait but all the games i currently want will not be out even after Lonesome road is released.

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 10:57 am

hmmm must of missed the post of the delay. Hopefully the patch will come soon.

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 1:46 pm

I hope the patch adds a new item or something

» Fri Jun 24, 2011 8:04 pm

I'm disappointed, but I'll still get it as soon as possible. Unfortunately I'll be out of state when it arrives.

ETA: I'm really excited about the Pre-War stuff. That was one of my favorite parts about Fallout 3.
